Spare Wool Wanted |
|

An elderly lady who knits for various charities, such as Barnardo’s, Mencap and Feed the Children, wants wool. Any ply and any colour is acceptable, and I should be willing to collect and deliver it. Liz Edwards |

St Matthew's and the Belgian War Memorial |
|

Having lived in Hillcroft Crescent for fifty years, I was interested to read the article about Lewis Curtis and his family. I remember hearing that Mrs Curtis had been widowed in the War, and left with a very young child, although in those far off days I would have thought Anne was much more than four years my senior! Their house was one of a number backing onto then open ground, and residents might be persuaded to allow friends bound for Oaklands Avenue to take a short cut through their gardens, a favour sought particularly by pupils of Broadfield School, in St Francis Church Hall, but housing developments in Oaklands Avenue in the mid 1950s put an end to that! Mrs Curtis and Anne were regular members of the congregation at St Francis for a number of years, before deciding to worship elsewhere and had left the district by 1967. Nicola F. Marlow |

Back to Church Sunday 28th September 2008: This is a national initiative that we are taking part in at St. Matthew's. The idea is that we all think of people who used to come to our church but have stopped for whatever reason and then we invite & welcome them to our service. We will be keeping Harvest Festival on 28th September so it should be a popular service. More details will follow but now we commend the day to your prayers. Fr. David |
